CUSTOMS  TARIFF  OF  NICARAGUA. 


INTRODUCTION. 

TARIFF  REVISION. 

The  new  customs  tariff  of  Nicaragua,  a  translation  of  which  is 
given  in  this  number  of  the  Tariff  Series,  was  originally  drawn  up  in 
1915,  but  did  not  become  effective  until  March  1,  1918.  It  differs 
from  the  earlier  tariffs  in  that  most  of  the  duties  are  based  upon  net 
weight  or  upon  the  value  of  the  goods  instead  of  the  gross  weight. 
The  classifications  also  represent  an  advance  over  the  earlier  form. 

Prior  to  the  adoption  of  the  present  tariff  law,  there  were  separate 
tariffs  in  force  on  the  Atlantic  and  the  Pacific  coasts  of  Nicaragua. 
Duties  were  collected  in  the  Pacific  ports  in  accordance  with  the  law 
of  December  15,  1908,  while  the  tariff  adopted  November  15,  1902, 
was  followed  on  the  Atlantic  coast.  This  resulted  in  some  confusion, 
but  as  most  imports  enter  through  the  Pacific  ports  the  rates  there 
in  force  were  generally  the  only  ones  to  be  considered. 

A  further  source  of  confusion  arose  from  the  manner  of  paying 
customs  duties.  It  was  originally  contemplated  that  the  duties  should 
be  paid  in  gold  or  its  equivalent.  In  practice,  however,  duties  were 
paid  at  the  custom  houses  of  the  Pacific  coast  in  the  depreiiat^^d  paper 
currency  at  an  officially  fixed  rate  of  exchange.  Up  to  1913  this  rate 
was  arbitrarily  fixed  at  650  per  cent,  or  6^  paper  pesos  for  each  gold 
peso  specified  in  the  tariff'.  At  the  same  time  duties  were  being  paid 
on  the  Atlantic  coast  in  silver  with  a  reduction  of  58  per  cent  from 
the  rates  fixed  by  the  law  of  1902. 

Under  these  old  tariffs  all  duties  were  based  on  gross  weight,  and 
in  many  cases  the  tariff  classifications  were  not  in  accordance  with 
modern  commercial  usage. 

REVISION  OF  MONETARY  SYSTEM. 

Before  any  thorougli  revision  of  the  tariff  could  be  undertaken  it 
was  necessary  that  the  finances  of  the  country  be  placed  on  a  sound 
basis.  With  that  in  view  and  in  accordance  with  the  "Monetary 
Plan"  arranged  with  certain  American  bankers,  a  decree  was  pro- 
mulgated March  20,  1912,  adopting  as  the  standard  unit  of  value  the

merce.  In  the  great  majority  of  casf\s  the  present  duties  have  not  been  changed, 
taking  into  consideration  the  difference  between  the  gross  and  net  weights  of  the 
articles. 

The  tariff  law  which  is  now  in  force,  adopted  in  1899,  is  unsatisfactory  for  the 
following  reasons : 

(a)  The  classifications  of  the  articles  are  out  of  date  and  therefore  are  not 
suited  to  present  commercial  conditions. 

( b )  The  duties  are  based  entirely  on  gross  weight. 

(c)  In  some  cases  there  is  no  distinction  between  the  different  grades  of  an 
article.  This  is  especially  true  in  regard  to  fabrics,  the  finest  qualities  being 
subject  to  the  same  duties  as  the  ordinary  grades. 

(d)  Some  rates  are  very  high,  if  not  prohibitive,  and  others  are  too  low. 
The  following  are  the  principal  differences  between  the  present  and  the 

proposed  tariff: 

(a)  The  classification  of  the  articles  and  their  grouping  having  been  entirely 
changed. 

( h )  Wherever  possible,  the  basis  of  duty  has  been  changed  from  gross  to  net 
weight.  In  certain  cases  the  rates  are  on  an  ad  valorem  basis  and  in  others 
by  the  piece  or  number  of  pieces.  In  those  cases  w4iere  the  nature  of  an  article 
or  its  packing  requires  it,  gross  weight  Is  continued  as  the  basis  for  levying 
duty.  In  many  Instances,  especially  In  the  case  of  textiles  and  chemical 
products,  an  alternative  ad  valorem  duty  has  been  given,  In  addition  to  a 
specific  rate  based  on  net  weight. 

(c)  The  classification  and  system  of  levying  duties  on  textiles,  clothing, 
and  manufactured  articles  have  been  totally  changed.  Under  the  present  tariff 
the  duty  is  based  on  gross  weight.  Under  the  new  tariff  the  rate  of  duty  is 
determined  according  to  thread  count  (I.  e.,  the  number  of  threads,  as  (deter- 
mined by  a  thread  counter,  which  are  contained  In  a  square  of  the  fabric, 
6  millimeters  to  the  side) ,  and  Is  based  on  net  weight.  Although  at  first  this  sys- 
tem appears  complicated,  it  is  in  reality  simple,  and  will  result  in  equalizing 
the  duties  on  articles  of  clothing  and  textiles  not  specified  In  the  present  tariff. 
The  duties  on  articles  of  cotton,  linen,  and  wool  are  not  Increased,  but  those  on 
articles  of  silk  are  to  be  slightly  higher. 

id)  The  classification  of  drugs  and  chemicals  and  pharmaceutical  products 
has  been  radically  changed,  and  the  duties  on  such  articles  the  Importation  of 
which  should  be  encouraged  In  the  Interest  of  public  health  have  been  con- 
siderably reduced. 

(e)  The  system  of  levying  duties  on  beverages,  cigars,  and  cigarettes  has 
been  changed.  In  place  of  a  duty  based  on  gross  weight  according  to  the 
alcoholic  contents  of  liquors  and  wines  the  new  tariff  proposes  a  fixed  rate 
per  liter.  These  rates  have  been  established  with  a  view  to  producing  the  same 
revenues  as  those  derived  from  the  present  schedule,  except  that  In  the  case  of 
champagne  the  duties  have  been  Increased.  The  duty  on  beer  Is  to  be  levied 
by  the  bottle,  but  Is  intended  to  produce  the  same  amount  of  revenue.  The 
rate  on  mineral  waters  has  been  considerably  lowered.  The  rate  on  cigars  and 
cigarettes  has  been  changed,  an  advalorem  rate  being  provided  for  so  as  to 
differentiate  between  the  various  grades.  The  customs  receipts  are  to  be  the 
same,  but  their  distribution  will  be  more  equitable. 

(f)  In  changing  the  basis  for  duty  from  gross  to  net  weight  It  Is  necessary  to 
Impose  a  higher  rate  In  order  that  the  same  amount  of  revenue  may  be  obtained. 
In  fixing  the  new  rates  the  schedule  of  tare  allowances  prescribed  by  the  Ger- 
man customs  tariff  has  been  used,  after  verification  by  means  of  Nlcaraguan  im- 
port statistics.    The  tare  allowance  varies,  of  course,  for  different  classes  of

INTRODUCTION. 


9 


the  Philippine  Ishinds,  the  United  States,  and  (Jermany,  have  been  freely  con- 
sulted, especially  those  which  have  been  promulgated  during  the  last  10  years, 
both  for  modern  classifications  and  for  the  purpose  of  comparing  the  duties. 

The  proposed  new  tariff  law  will  provitle  Nicaragua  with  a  completely  mod- 
em tariff  system,  placing  her  on  a  level  with  those  nations  whose  tariff 
legislation  is  in  harmony  with  present  commercial  conditions. 

In  its  final  form  the  tariff  differs  from  that  submitted  in  1916  only 
in  a  few  unimportant  details  made  necessary  by  changes  that  had 
occurred  in  the  meantime.  Reductions  were  made  in  the  rates  of  duty 
on  a  few  classes  of  goods,  while  the  rates  on  perfumes  and  toilet 
waters  and  sweetmeats  were  increased. 

On  the  whole,  the  new  rates  are  somewhat  higher  than  those  for- 
merly in  force,  and  a  slight  increase  in  revenue  is  anticipated.  The 
arrangement  of  the  tariff,  however,  is  such  as  to  encourage  importa- 
tion, and  the  higher  rates  of  duty  will  affect  mostly  articles  of  luxury 
and  not  those  of  general  consumption. 

The  index  following  the  tariff  schedule  is  not  an  integral  part  of 
the  tariff  law,  but  it  will  often  be  of  assistance  in  determining  doubt- 
ful classifications. 

CUSTOMS  SURTAX. 

The  authorization  for  increasing  the  duties  33J  per  cent,  contained 
in  the  law  of  November  11,  1913,  was  reenacted  in  slightly  different 
form  on  July  7,  1916.  This  law  was  not  put  into  operation,  however, 
and  on  December  3, 1917,  another  law  was  passed  imposing  a  surtax  of 
12i  per  cent  on  all  import  duties.  This  was  to  have  gone  into  effect 
January  1,  1918,  but  it  was  deferred  for  three  months  and  became 
operative  on  March  1,  1918,  at  the  same  time  as  the  new  tariff.  The 
proceeds  from  this  surtax  are  intended  for  the  conversion  of  the  in- 
ternal debt,  and,  although  payable  at  the  same  time  as  the  import 
duties,  are  kept  separate  and  distinct  from  the  regular  customs  re- 
ceipts, which  are  in  part  pledged  for  the  payment  of  other  obligations. 

COMMERCIAL  TREATY  WITH  FRANCE. 

By  the  commercial  treaty  between  France  and  Nicaragua,  signed 
January  27,  1902,  certain  French  products  are  entitled  to  admission 
in  Nicaragua  at  a  reduction  of  25  per  cent  from  the  regular  duties. 
Under  the  most- favored-nation  clause  in  the  treaties  with  Great 
Britain  and  Germany  the  same  reductions  were  granted  on  goods 
from  those  countries,  while  a  decree  of  August  23,  1911,  extends  these 
special  tariff  rates  to  the  United  States.  A  complete  list  of  the  ar- 
ticles admitted  at  a  reduction  of  25  per  cent  from  the  usual  rates  when 
accompanied  by  a  certificate  of  origin  will  be  found  on  page  51  of 
Tariff  Series  No.  24  (Consular  Regulations  of  Foreign  Countries- 
Canada  and  Latin  America).

INTBODUCTION.

Nicaragua  was  the  first  country  to  adopt  the  standard  form  of 
uniform  consular  invoice  recoiiunended  at  the  Fourth  International 
Conference  of  American  States  held  at  Buenos  Aires  in  1910.  This 
form  together  with  an  outline  of  the  consular  regulations  and  fees 
will  be  found  in  Tariff  Series  No.  24  (Consular  Regulations  of  For- 
eign Countries — Canada  and  Latin  America),  to  which  reference 
has  already  been  made. 

TEMPORARY  FREE  ADMISSION. 

The  conditions  under  which  travelers'  samples  are  admitted  in 
Nicaragua  temporarily  free  of  duty  under  bond  are  outlined  in 
Tariff  Series  No.  35  (Commercial  Travelers  in  Latin  America). 

Boxes,  barrels,  and  other  receptacles  imported  for  use  as  con- 
tainers of  national  products  are  granted  a  refund  of  75  per  cent  of 
the  duties  paid  if  reexported  within  six  months. 

Cinematograph  films  imported  temporarily  for  exhibition  pur- 
poses and  not  for  sale  may  be  admitted  under  bond  for  twice  the 
amount  of  duties  applicable  under  tariff  item  906.  The  bond  is  can- 
celed upon  reexportation  of  the  films  within  six  months.

dise  imported  from  foreign  countries  into  Nicaragua  as  prescribed  by  the 
following  tnriff.  "^ 

Art.  2.  The  following  rules,  and  the  rules  and  notes  elsewhere  stated  in 
this  law,  shall  be  observed  in  the  construction  and  application  of  this  tariff: 

GENERAL  RULES. 

TREATMENT  OF   FABRICS. 

Rule  1.  Numher  of  threads  ami  mannrr  of  d etc rminwu. -By  the  number 
of  threads  in  a  fabric  shall  be  meant  the  total  number  of  all  threads  con- 
tamed  in  the  warp  and  weft  thereof  in  a  square  of  6  millimeters.  The  warp 
is  the  threads  which  lie  longitudinally  in  a  fabric,  whether  they  form  the 
foundation  thereof  or  have  been  added  thereto.  The  weft  Is  the  threads  which 
cross  the  warp,  whether  or  not  from  selvage  to  selvage.  To  determine  the 
number  of  threads  in  a  fabric  and  the  proportion  thereof  sulgect  to  the  highest 
rate  of  duty,  a  thread  counter  shall  be  used,  each  side  being  6  millimeters 

In  fabrics  woven  wholly  or  in  part  with  twisted,  double,  or  multiple  yarns 
each  strand  of  such  yarn  shall  be  counte<l  as  one  thread  In  determining  the 
thread  count.  ^ 

Should  a  fabric  be  more  closely  woven  in  some  parts  than  in  others  the 
number  of  threads  in  the  most  closely  woven  part  and  in  the  most  looselv 
woven  part  of  the  body  of  the  fabric  shall  be  ascertained,  and  the  average 
number  of  threads  resulting  shall  serve  as  the  basis  for  levying  duty 

Threads  shall  be  counted  on  the  finished  side  of  the  fabric  if  the  nature 
thereof  permits;  otherwise,  on  the  reverse  side.  If  necessary  to  ascertain  the 
number  of  threads,  the  nap  shall  be  removed  or  a  sufficient  part  of  the  fabric 
unraveled. 

Should  this  be  impossible  without  damaging  a  made-up  article,  the  fabric 
shall  be  subject  to  the  highest  rate  of  duty  applicable  in  the  group  to  which  it 
belongs,  and  if  the  fabric  be  mixed  it  shall  be  dutiable  at  the  rate  applicable 
to  the  most  highly  taxed  component  material  in  the  exterior  of  the  article 

Rule  2.  Admixtures*  of  two  matcrials.—Vahrics  composed  of  two  materials 
shall  be  dutiable  in  accordance  with  the  rules  stated  at  the  lieads  (»f  Classes  D

(a)  Mixed  fabrics  of  wool  and  cotton,  or  of  wool  and  other  vegetable  fibers 
containing  threads  of  silk,  in  which  the  number  of  silk  threads,  counted  in 
the  w^arp  and  weft,  does  not  exceed  one-fifth  of  the  total  number  of  threads 
Shall  be  dutiable  under  the  corresponding  items  of  Glass  F 

When  the  number  of  silk  threads  exceeds  one-fifth  of  the  total,  the  fabric 
shall  be  dutiable  under  the  correspoonding  item  of  Glass  G. 

(&)  Mixed  fabrics  of  cotton  and  other  vegetable  fibers,  together  with  threads 
of  silk,  in  which  the  number  of  silk  threads,  counted  in  tlie  warp  and  weft 
does  not  exceed  one-fifth  of  the  total  number  of  threads,  shall  be  dutiable  under 
12 


the  corresponding  items  of  Class  E,  with  the  addition  of  a  surtax  of  70  per 
cent  for  the  threads  of  silk.

shall  be  dutiable  under  the  corresponding  item  of  Class  G. 

(c)  Mixed  fabrics  of  wool,  cotton,  and  other  vegetable  fibers,  containing  no 
silk  threads,  in  which  the  number  of  threads  of  wool,  counted  in  the  warp  and 
weft,  does  not  exceed  one-fifth  of  the  total  number  of  threads,  shall  be  dutiable 
under  the  corresponding  items  of  Class  E,  with  the  addition  of  a  surtax  of  40 
per  cent  for  the  threads  of  wool. 

When  the  number  of  threads  of  wool  exceed  one-fifth  of  the  total,  the  fabric 
shall  be  dutiable  under  the  corresponding  item  of  Class  F. 

id)  Made-up  articles  of  fabrics  containing  threads  of  more  than  two  ma- 
terials, in  any  proportion,  shall  be  dutiable  under  the  corresponding  items  of 
the  class  to  which  belongs  the  component  material  subject  to  the  highest  rate 
of  duty. 

Rule  4.  Silk  fabrics. — All  fabrics  containing  silk  threads,  the  number  of 
which,  counted  in  the  warp  and  weft,  exceeds  one-fifth  of  the  total  number 
of  threads  composing  the  fabric,  shall  be  dutiable  as  silk  fabrics  under  Class  G. 

Rule  5.  Artificial  silk. — Artificial  silk  in  any  form  shall  be  consideretl  as

Rule  6.  Selvage. — No  surtax  shall  be  imposed  nor  shall  any  change  in 
classification  be  made  on  account  of  yarns  dyed  or  printed  in  the  selvage  only, 
nor  for  trade  names  or  marks  on  the  fabric. 

Rule  7.  Plain-woven  fabrics. — Fabrics  in  the  weaving  of  which  the  threads 
or  yarns  (of  one  strand)  of  the  weft  are  carried  alternately  over  nnd  umier 
each  warp  thread,  forming  right  angles  throughout  the  piece,  and  in  which 
the  threads  or  yarns  (of  one  strand)  of  the  warp  are  carried  alternately  over 
and  under  each  weft  thread,  forming  right  angles  throughout  the  piece,  shall 
be  considered  as  plain  woven. 

When  the  weaving  does  not  correspond  to  the  process  described  above,  the 
fabric  shall  not  be  considered  plain  woven  for  the  purposes  of  this  tariff. 

Rule  8.  Weight  of  fabrics  per  100  square  meters. — In  determining  the  weight 
of  any  fabric  per  100  square  meters,  for  the  purpose  of  classification,  the 
calculation  shall  be  based  upon  a  sufficient  quantity  of  the  fabric  itself,  ex- 
clusive of  boards,  paper,  labels,  tags,  strings,  tickets,  embroidery,  trimming,  or 
any  other  thing,  object,  or  process  (except  bleaching,  sizing,  printing,  dyeing, 
stamping,  embossing,  or  mercerizing),  added  or  performed  after  the  fabric 
has  left  the  loom. 

The  usual  tapes,  boards,  and  immediate  wrapping  shall  be  included  with 
the  fabrics  in  determining  the  dutiable  weight.
